Lord knows I was glad when the Conservative government in Britain was finally ousted, after 18 hideous years of greed, corruption and the selling off of state assets.
Despite his pandering US President Roscoe P. Coltrane, I still like Tony Blair over any other British leader in the past few decades.
Now I find out that The Poodle is going to appear in The Simpsons. Good for him, for joining in, and doing the voice for his cartoon alter ego. Full story here.
George W. Bush doesn't look likely to be appearing in The Simpsons.
I'm not sure if this is because he might be mistaken for Chief Wiggum, or because you need to be at least two-dimensional to appear in cartoons.

Overall, I've always likened Dubya to Sherriff Roscoe P. Coltrane on "The Dukes Of Hazzard" - both in terms of brains, and in terms of his policies on the Duke boys... err... I mean, foreign countries with oil.
